High Protein Fish & Chips Recipe For Bulking

High Protein Fish & Chips Recipe For Bulking Overview

This bodybuilding fish recipe is a healthy twist to the classic fish n’ chips we all know. As a high protein bodybuilding fish recipe, there is no breading and unhealthy fat normally associated with traditional fish n’ chips (as wonderful as it can be). Pan seared tilapia is the white fish fillet used in this bodybuilding fish and chips recipe used in place of the deep fried battered fish. The same pan searing technique can be used for cod, halibut or any other fish. The tilapia fillet comes out with a wonderful earthy lemon zest flavor, and the red potatoes are healthful comfort food seasoned with a tasty blend of herbs perfect to fuel your workouts.

Potato Cooking Instructions:

• Heat a large skillet on medium high and add the butter and olive oil.

• Cook until the butter foams a little and starts to turn brown (pic 1). Put the slivered onion in the pan, reduce heat to medium low and cook (pic 2). Cook until the onions start to caramelize – onions turn brown and are translucent (pic 3).

  

  Saute the onions until they begin to carmelize.

• When the onions are caramelized (pic 4) add the potatoes (don’t overload the skillet) and sprinkle Italian seasoning into the pan (pic 5). Use your own judgment on the amount, start with about 1 teaspoon and go from there. Increase heat back to medium and cook until potatoes are browned and tender. Mix the pan 3 or 4 times to cook all evenly. (pic 6) TIP: If you cover the pan for a few minutes it will help the potatoes become more tender.
